Are Kate Middleton, Prince William and their three children spending Easter with the royal family this year?

It was announced this week that King Charles, Queen Camilla and other members of the family at the Easter Matins Service at St. George’s Chapel within the Windsor Castle grounds on Sunday, April 5.

Although the Prince and Princess of Wales’ attendance was not confirmed, the royal couple are expected to join the holiday gathering, likely with their three children: Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, 7. George and Charlotte first attended the holiday church outing in 2022, while Louis made his Easter debut the following year.

Prince William has been attending the royal family’s Easter church gathering since childhood, often spotted with mom Princess Diana and brother Prince Harry. After marrying into the royal family in April 2011, Princess Kate has also been a fixture at the holiday event.

However, William, 43, and Kate, 44, marked Easter privately the past two years.

They skipped the 2024 Easter outing amid Princess Kate’s cancer news, which had been publicly announced just weeks before. She spent much of the year out of the public eye as she underwent treatment, and in January 2025, the Princess of Wales announced her cancer was in remission.

Last year, the Prince and Princess of Wales’ family spent the holiday over 100 miles away from Windsor in Norfolk at their country home, Anmer Hall, where they often retreat when the kids are off from school.

Prince William and Princess Kate have previously revealed that George, Charlotte and Louis celebrated easter with popular holiday traditions, including an egg hunt and lots of candy.

During their first-ever full royal engagement via video call amid the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, William said about their Easter plans, “There will be a lot of chocolate being eaten here, don’t worry!”

Then Kate turned to her husband with a laugh and quipped, “You keep eating it!”

King Charles and Queen Camilla are set to begin Easter celebrations on Thursday by taking part in the Royal Maundy Service, where they will distribute gifts of “Maundy Money” in a tradition that dates back to 600 A.D.

The special coins are given to those over the age of 70 for outstanding service to their communities. The number of recipients matches the age of the monarch, so this year, 77 men and 77 women will receive the gift.

The Royal Maundy Service is set to take place at St. Asaph Cathedral in Wales, the U.K.’s smallest ancient cathedral, this year. It marks the first time the occasion has been held in Wales since 1982 and only the second time in its history.
